Recommended Supplies and Materials For Drawing Cars...
But having special drawing supplies alone will not make you a good artist, you still need to learn the basic car drawing skills.
Car Drawing Materials
The first thing you will need is a good drawing surface to work on. A sturdy table, desk or drafting table will work quite nicely.
I recommend the following drafting table. This is a high quality table with a very low price tag.
Alvin CraftMaster Hobby Station 24 in. x 40 in.
The next item you are going to need is good lighting. This is very important. Do not take this lightly. If you can't see well, then you can't draw well, it's that simple.
I am using a desk lamp made by a company called "Lights of America". It's a full spectrum lamp that simulates natural sunlight. I have tried a number of different lighting solutions and this is by far one of the best for the price.
I actually purchased this lamp at a local Home Depot not too long ago when it was on sale. I am not sure if Home Depot still carries this lamp. You may want to check your local store for more information because I got it at a really good price.
Here is a link to the lamp online: http://www.esplighting.com/1127.html
As for what tools you should have on hand to draw with, there are no "One drawing tool fits all" formulas. You will have to experiment with different pens and pencils until you find the ones that are the most comfortable to draw cars with. It is probably best to have a variety of drawing tools on hand.
Many car artists have various pens, pencils, markers and even paints on hand to produce different effects. For instance, some car artists prefer to work with Prismacolor "Verithin" pencils for sketching fine lines and for light shading. Other artists prefer the convenience of mechanical pencils as there is no sharpening needed. Mechanical pencils are not the best for shading in areas however. So you see, having a variety of tools on hand to draw with is essential.
Paper is another item of personal choice. Again, you have to experiment. Just like pens and pencils, there are also a variety of drawing surfaces. Try your favorite pens and pencils on various surfaces. Drawing surfaces have different textures and thicknesses and your drawing mediums will behave differently depending on the surface and how you apply them. You may also find guides helpful to draw with. Some car artists prefer to use ellipses and straight edges to help create straight lines and circles, while others work free hand.
If you do not happen to live near any art supply stores, you can always purchase your supplies online.
